sending large JSON data from android to php server can I compress?

i am sending large datasets in JSON format from my android device to my server (using PHP). I want to keep bandwidth costs down. I am wondering: should I gzip compress the JSON data server side before sending the data? is there a javascript gzip uncompression library in php side and what i do in android side?

Solution

  • You can compress your JSON output in this way from PHP server.

    echo gzencode(json_encode($data));

    And for android side you can use "gzip decoder"
